Thanks - I have been meaning to have a look at Neils book.

Pricing is difficult - I want to be able to show ROI to something like a small cafe or restaurant.

Tiers might be the answer but at the same time I want a really simple pricing scheme, and will probably defer the choice till the user is more familiar with the system when they have more knowledge about what they might need.

Tiered pricing is (usually) dead simple to understand. As their program grows, they climb the tier.

I'm a mailchimp customer and that's how they work. Once my list reaches a certain size, I pay a higher monthly fee. Nothing complicated about it. Plus, I don't even have to "decide" anything. They automatically calculate my tier based on list size. I'd say you're in a nearly identical boat.

Before the pricing focus; a detailed analysis of the true benefit to customers has to be fully harnessed in order to make the sale. I get the feeling from the site that you understand that these programs are beneficial but don't have a recognized value to the customer. Without a sense of Value, Cost is irrelevant.
